I am having trouble installing FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 on my 486dx2/66.  I put 
the kcopy_bt disk in the drive and then it prompts for the filesystem 
floppy.  I insert that floppy and it lists my hardware on the screen.  It 
gets down to the bottom of the list and then says "changing root device 
to fd0d" and on the next line it says "ISA strayintr c".  This is where 
it locks up.  I have disabled all caching (internal and external) but 
this doesn't help.  
  You can email me at walth@plains.nodak.edu.

Thank you for all the help.
